Abe left for scout camp bright and early Monday morning. He had a great week. Favorite activities were learning to drive a motor boat, a camp wide relay race and sleeping in a hammock. Abe hasn't stopped eating since he got home from camp Saturday afternoon.
Monday was July 11, otherwise known as 7/11. Gibson and Helen got free slurpees at our 7-Eleven store.
Sofi and Joey visited a local lavender farm this week. Joey took some great photos of Sofi.
Gibson and Helen attended a robotics camp this week. Our friends' daughter, Samantha, also signed up for the camp and the three kids worked together as a team all week. Every day the class built a robot to complete a challenge like hitting golf balls or catapulting plastic balls at a lego castle. Their last challenge was to build a sumo wrestling robot.
Here's a close up of their final robot. The robots competed with each other by trying to force other robots out of the wrestling ring. Their robot won 3 matches and lost 3 matches.
Gibson and Helen helped out in Primary today by sharing stories from their pioneer ancestors. They have a lot to choose from. Gibson told about William Gibson Hull winning a shotgun in a shooting contest. Helen told the life story of Ann Green, her 5th great grandmother who was Joseph Smith's neighbor in Nauvoo and lived to be 94 years old.
Abe was worn out from scout camp so we took an easy hike Saturday afternoon. Brandan used this opportunity away from distractions to tell the kids he had been called to be our ward's bishop. He was sustained and set apart today.
